Peter Orullian, author of The Unremembered, has hosted many conversations with SFF luminaries. One of the best, in our opinion, was his chat with Terry Brooks, author of the classic Shannara series. Brooks’ forthcoming novel, The High Druid’s Blade, is the first stand-alone novel in the Shannara series in almost twenty years—making it the perfect place for new readers to begin!

This interview was especially important to Orullian:

“[Brooks’] work was early inspiration to me and helped put me on a writing path that would lead me ultimately to my own first published novel.”

Orullian and Brooks cover everything from fantasy tropes and writing tips to how to build a creative life. Check out the full interview below!
